next,
choosing a combination of suitable colors,
add a layer(i labeled it as 'gradient' in this case).
the colors which you are using varies.
it depends on what effect do ya want to give it.
i chose earthy colors so as to achieve a serpia feeling.

click on the 'gradient tool' and spread it across the layer.
this is how it will look like.

and then,
i added brushesworks to the picture to spice it up.
similarly,i added a new layer and named it 'deco'.
i fiddled with the opacity level of the brushes so that it fits.

subsequently,
i added another new layer and labeled it as 'deco 2'
this time,i amended the opacity level of the brushes back to 100%,the maximum.
gave the picture a lil grungy feel.
